Simon Varwell

Simon Varwell is a travel writer interested in the more unusual and lesser-known destinations around the world ones that lurk far off the beaten track or are hiding right under our noses.

His first two books - Up the Creek Without a Mullet, and The Return of the Mullet Hunter - tell the story of his whimsical ongoing mission to visit various places around the world with the word "mullet" in their name. His third book, The Next Stop, is an account of his six-day, stop-by-stop journey down the Inverness to Edinburgh rail line.

Simon was born in 1978 and grew up in Benbecula in the Western Isles of Scotland. He is married and lives in Inverness. His website can be found at www.simonvarwell.co.uk.
